Steps

  1. Cut shallow slits into the sausages at a 45-degree angle to help absorb smoke. Preheat your pellet grill to 325°F and cook the sausages for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  2. Add peppers and onions to a cast-iron pan. Season with salt, pepper & garlic blend and Italian seasoning. Place on the grill alongside the sausages, stirring after 15 minutes.
    Once sausages are fully cooked, nestle them into the peppers and onions to rest.
  3. Place tortillas on the grill or in a cast-iron pan. Top each with a slice of fresh mozzarella and cook for about 5 minutes, until the cheese melts and tortillas are lightly toasted.
  4. Combine all sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to thicken.
  5. Add sausage to each tortilla, top with peppers and onions, and finish with a drizzle of creamy pesto sauce.
